This study was performed to investigate the antimicrobial effects of Portulaca oleracea extracts against food-borne pathogens. First, the Portulaca oleracea was extracted with methanol at room temperature, and then further fractionated by using petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of the Portulaca oleracea extracts was determined using a paper disc method against food-borne pathogens and food spoilage bacteria. The ethyl acetate extracts of Portulaca oleracea showed the highest antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae. There was also a synergistic effect of the combined extracts of Portulaca oleracea and Indigofera kirilowii as compared to each extract alone. Finally, the growth inhibition curve of ethyl acetate extracts of Portulaca oleracea against Staph­ylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae was determined The ethyl acetate extract of Portulaca oleracea showed strong antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus at the concentration of 4,000 ppm. The 4,000 ppm of ethyl acetate extract from Portulaca oleracea, retarded the growth of S. aureus by more than 24 hand Shigella dysenteriae up to 12 h at $37^{\circ}C$.

This study was performed to investigate the lipolytic effects of Portulaca oleracea L. extract in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The Portulaca oleracea L. was extracted with extrusion method using twin-screw extruder under $58{\sim}60rpm$ screw speed, $4{\sim}5kg/hr$ feed rate, $140^{\circ}C$ extrusion temperature. The lipolytic action of Portulaca oleracea L. extract was estimated by measuring the amount of glycerol and free fatty acids (FFA) released from 3T3-L1 adipocytes and by measuring the cellular lipid content in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) mRNA level was analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR. The Portulaca oleracea L. extract at 1 to $100{\mu}g/ml$ suppressed lipid accumulation. The release of glycerol and FFA into the medium, and the mRNA level of HSL were significantly increased by the addition of Portulaca oleracea L. extract at dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, the Portulaca oleracea L. extract was suggested to have the lipolytic effect through release of lipolytic products (FFA and glycerol) of triacylglyceride to the culture medium and suppression of lipid accumulation via up-regulation of HSL gene expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

쇠비름 에탄올 추출물의 고지혈증 개선 효과를 알아보기 위하여 C57BL/6J mice에게 9주 동안 고지방식이를 섭취시켰다. 마지막 4주 동안은 고지방식이에 쇠비름 에탄올 저농도투여군(HFD+POE 75) 및 쇠비름 에탄올 고농도투여군(HFD+POE 125)으로 나누어 하루에 한 번씩 경구투여 하였으며 고지방식이군(HFD)은 증류수를 투여하였다. HFD+POE 75군 및 HFD+POE 125군의 체중변화량은 유의적인 차이를 나타나지는 않았으나 식이효율은 HFD군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다. 혈중 ALT 함량은 HFD군에 비해 HFD+POE 125군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으나 AST 함량은 그룹 간 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 실험식이 4주 때에 혈청 중 총콜레스테롤, 중성지질 및 LDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 쇠비름 에탄올 추출물 경구투여로 유의적으로 감소하였으나 HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 유의적 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 심순환기 질환의 위험성을 나타내는 지표로 알려진 동맥경화지수와 심혈관위험지수는 고농도의 쇠비름 에탄올 추출물 경구투여로 HFD군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다. 이상의 결과 고지방식이에 쇠비름 에탄올 추출물 경구투여로 혈중 및 간장 중의 총콜레스테롤 및 LDL-콜레스테롤, 중성지질이 저하되었는데 이는 쇠비름 에탄올 추출물이 고지혈증 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 사료되나 쇠비름 에탄올 추출물의 어떤 성분에 의한 지질 저하효과를 나타내는지와 어떠한 기전에 의해 지질 저하효과를 나타내는지 보다 자세한 연구가 요구된다.

Cigarette smoking is the potential risk factor for lung cancer and chronic pulmonary disease, as well as inflammatory bowel disease and reproductive malfunction. Nicotine and tar have been im plicated as a major factor in the pathogenesis of the diseases. Nicotine increases heart rate and blood pressure due to stimulation sympathetic neurotransmission and tar also accounts for the severe damage of peridontal diseases and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Portulaca oleracea, which contains significant amount of K+, noradrenaline and dopamine as well as various nutrients, has been used for many medicinal purposes and one of which is the detoxification of insect or snake toxins. The purpose of this study was to investigate the action of Portulaca oleracea extracts on the reduction of harmful materials of tabacco. The reduction percentages were measured in the presence and absence of each solvent extract of Portulaca oleracea using reversed C18 column of HPLC. Nicotine reduction effects were obtained from aqueous, methanol and chloroform extracts of Portulaca oleracea as 89%, 55% and 51%, respectively. The results suggest that the polar extracts of Portulaca oleracea affects the reduction of nicotine which is responsible for many diseases.

본 연구에서는 쇠비름 추출물의 항산화 효과 및 위궤양 유발 병원균으로 잘 알려진 Helicobacter pylori에 대한 항균 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 쇠비름의 유기용매 추출물의 항산화 효과는 총 페놀 함량, 전자공여능, SOD 유사활성, TBARS 등을 통하여 검증하였다. 쇠비름의 총 페놀 함량은 약탕기 추출물에서 72.2 mg%로 가장 높게 나타났고, 전자공여능은 ethyl acetate 분획물이 91.8%와 methanol 분획물이 90.6%로 나타났다. SOD 유사활성은 2.5 mg/$m{\ell}$의 농도에서 ethyl acetate 분획물 17.4%와 petroleum ether 분획물 16.4%로 높게 나타났다. 쇠비름의 TBARS에 의한 항산화 효과는 유의적으로 나타나지 않았다. Paper disc 법에 의한 Helicobacter pylori 항균 활성의 경우, 쇠비름 추출물의 농도가 증가할수록 inhibition zone 크기가 증가하였고, 쇠비름의 petroleum ether 분획물 10,000 ppm 농도에서 가장 큰 활성이 나타났다.

The effectiveness of the extracts of Alnus japonica and Portulaca oleracea, which are effective in improving alcohol-induced liver damage, was confirmed using acute and chronic alcoholic liver injury animal models. In the acute alcoholic liver injury model, dieting Alnus japonica and Portulaca oleracea complex (ALPOC) at a dose of 50 mg/kg showed no significant change in liver or body weight, while measured plasma ALT activity to be deficient (28.12 U/ml) compared to the alcohol intake group (42.5 U/ml), and confirmed that restored it to an average level. It showed an improvement of 34.9% compared to the alcohol intake group. AST activity confirmed that it showed a very effective liver protection activity by showing a gain of 12.6%. The chronic alcoholic liver damage animal model demonstrated that ALT showed an improvement effect of 25%, and AST showed an effect similar to that of the positive control group, Hovenia extract. In addition, through H&E staining analysis, observed that the ALPOC improved the necrosis and bleeding of the liver. And the ALPOC group showed intense antioxidant activity of 127% or more compared to the alcohol intake group, and this was confirmed to have a very high activity, which is more than 20% higher than that of the hovenia fruit extract.

Objectives : The development of natural drugs with antidepressant effects is important and needed. This study was performed to investigate the antidepressant-like effects of the distilled water extract of Portulaca oleracea L. (POL) in a mouse model and to investigate the role of ${\alpha}$-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid (AMPA) receptors in producing these antidepressant-like effects. Methods : The forced swim test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) were used to investigate the behavioral anti-depressive-like effects of POL in mice. Additional behavioral experiments with 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo[f]quinoxaline-2,3-dione, an AMPA receptor antagonist, were undertaken to determine the involvement of the antidepressant-like properties of POL in AMPA receptor throughput. Results : Oral administration of the POL extract (100 mg/kg) 1 h prior to testing significantly reduced the immobility times in the FST and TST. The antidepressant-like effects of the POL extract were not increased in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment with NBQX significantly attenuated the reduction in immobility time induced by the POL extract in the FST. Conclusions : The distilled water extract of POL has antidepressant-like effects, which may be related to AMPA receptor. Pre-treatment with NBQX significantly attenuates the reduction in immobility time induced by the POL extract in the FST.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not a pretreatment with Portulaca oleracea has an antioxidant effect in HCl-ethanol induced gastric mucosal damage. Methods : We elucidated the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation, and two important constituents of antioxidant defense such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) in these effects. Results : The oral administration of crude extract from P. oleracea attenuated the gastritic lesion area, submucosal edema and hemorrhage, and mucosal necrosis induced by HCl-ethanol. The MDA levels of control group were higher than those in the rats given the P. oleracea pretreatment. While the GSH levels of control were decreased, the GSH activity on the gastric mucosal layer maintain normal level in rats given the Portulaca oleracea pretreatment before HCl-ethanol induced gastritis significantly increased. However, the SOD activites were not altered by P. oleracea. Conclusions : The administration of Portulaca oleracea have a protective antioxidant effect against the gastric lesion induced by HCl-ethanol and may therefore be a promising drug for gastritis and gastric ulcer.
